DURHAM — Teachers and students at Oyster River Middle School have raised over $2,500 for Morgan's Fund, a fundraiser helping Jamie and Katie Merrill raise money to purchase a handicap accessible van for their daughter Morgan.

The students did this by collecting change in each class. One student donated a large bag of change that he had been saving for over 5 years. Also, the students donated 60 percent of funds collected from their fall dance. They raised $400 and donated it to Morgan's fund.

Morgan's grandfather, Edward Pelletier, works as a custodian at the school and the students and teachers wanted to help. We want to give them a huge thank you for all the support.
